yes its a JBO turbo cam. when i got the cam from JBO, there were no cam card. just the basic specs. it came wrapped up in wax like paper ready to go in. this cam can probably work for any year 2.2l cavalier, but i got mines for the year 98 to 2002 (2200). Mev for JBO can probably give you more insight about there cam.
if i ever rebuild again, i will go for something like
intake duration 220 @ 50 lift 498
exhaust duration 212 @ 50 lift 490
that would make a real radical cam, but not a smooth idle.
hopefully after thanksgiving i will be heading to the track. i made some changes with the tuning and up the rev limiter just a bit. also made some minor changes in the spark tables. turbo now spools a bit earlier and the car pulls harder now.
i will see what i can get with the stock head before i swap in the better valves and springs. this might be my last upgrade for this motor until a future rebuild.
I don't care what the haters say, the 4 door 2.2 could rape most of us here...
That's HOT..

yep, a cam like that would make a big difference, especially with a standalone to take full advange of the power curve. also imagine making power up to 6500rpms. thats a good gain in power for 2.2l. also might need a vaccum booster and like you said a slight change in differential to take advantage of the torque. the stock pcm stops right around 7000rpms in the VE table, and 6400 in the spark table.....after that tuning is in the dark.
but like you said, if am going to take full advantage of the bottom end i need to work on top, then its on from there....but we'll see
as for Chris.......LOL, i can't help myself laughing as to what you said. on the street, this car does surprise a lot of people, especially the mustang GT, srt-4 or some honda civics.
it looks odd to some people to see a 4 door auto sedan boosted........LOL
in my local area, i get comments like, i've never seen a boosted cavalier before, especial a 4 door sedan, cool man, real nice......
I got that a lot (one of the first people to get the charger) back in the day, even had one kid with a Spec-V want to race me and asked to pop the hood. I did, he looked around, pit his hand on my blower , said, "well you gots a header, and a cold air intake, I can take ya. lets race"
The cooling ribs were between his fingers....
Boosted Cavies FTW
(the 4 door things makes it that much hotter!)

LOL, i would imagine. i get that look every now and then. 3 spd auto sedan would seem even more unusual. i can't wait to get back on the track so i can see people jaws drop when the cavey run 13's.
a real sleeper style....LOL
